This movie was a lot better than I was expecting. It's dirty, raunchy, hilarious and will put you right in the Christmas mood. You don't need to re-watch the first two movies to understand this new one. They spoof the claymation genre as a tribute to the classic Christmas specials we grew up with. They give a dirty twist to that infamous scene from 'A Christmas Story'

Harold and Kumar aren't hanging out anymore and have new best friends with new lives. When Kumar receives a package meant for Harold, he takes it to him, and that's when the chaos begins. Throughout Christmas Eve night, they must find the perfect Christmas tree, deal with the Russian Mafia, befriend a robotic waffle-maker, and ride with Santa Claus in his sleigh. If you love dirty raunchy movies and Christmas movies, this is the perfect blend for you. I highly recommend A VERY HAROLD & KUMAR CHRISTMAS!!!

This is a movie designed for 3D as things fly into the camera. The story line picks up 2 years later. Kumar (Kal Penn), the med student, isn't a doctor because he can't pass the drug test. Harold (John Cho) is rich and successful. He has a beautiful Latino wife (Paula Garcés) who has a lot of baggage, mainly Danny Trejo is her dad. Trejo's mom was killed by Asians. Harold and Kumar both have a new sidekick. We have a competition of sidekicks. Through a mishap involving a huge joint, Danny Trejo's 12 foot home grown Christmas tree gets burned down and now the foursome are on a quest for a new 12 foot tree in the heart of the city on Christmas eve. They carry with them an infant who seems to like illegal drugs.

On their quest they encounter Adrian (Amir Blumenfeld) the daughter of a crime boss desperate to lose her virginity; an evil clay-mation Frosty the Snowman; the Russian Mafia (who play Mafia Wars on-line); a Waffle-bot; the real Santa; and of course the resurrected Neil Patrick Harris.

The humor, while low-brow and crude works in this film because it adds some originality to it.

Just not feeling the yuletide cheer? Are the crowds of crazed holiday shoppers wearing you down? Well you better hurry - counting tonight there are only 8 evenings left with which to stream some good old fashioned Christmas spirit into your living room. Here are my suggestions:

The people who produced this film made a great 3d presentation. Some items such as smoke, broken glass, ping-pond balls, throwing eggs and many other items made this picture fun to watch,during the show some items appeared about 10 feet out of the screen. I only hope that the people who made this film can make others with such great effects.

I bought this because I was hungry for another 3D movie and it looked funny. It didn't disappoint! I haven't seen the first 2 Harold & Kumar movies, but that didn't stop me from enjoying this one. I laughed my butt off, and the 3D effects were plentiful. I'm always bummed when a 3D movie only offers added depth but no pop-out effects. This flick has both. If you're looking to add another 3D movie to your collection, I think you'll be happy with this one (unless you don't like like raunchy, politically incorrect humor and nudity in your movies).

It was great to see Harold and Kumar together again. They were a little far out in the special effects as it got to be a little like "Naked Gun" type of outrageous humor, but if that doesn't bother you it is fun to watch.

So, I didn't like this H&K as much as "White Castle," but the intentional 3D overkill makes this a must-have if you own a 3D TV. Two stars as a "Beavis & Butthead" -type movie: many of the jokes do fall flat, the Jesus/Heaven scene seeks to offend (and does) rather than get laughs, and (SPOILER ALERT!) NPH should have delivered the tree instead of Santa. Major kudos for getting the legendary Danny Trejo to play the father-in-law (although he should've been allowed one knife-throwing scene just out of respect). Four stars for fantastic and funny pop-out 3D, so three stars overall. This ain't "Citizen Kane," folks, so expect teenage boy humor and R-rated language, put the kiddies to bed, and bring it out every December for some 3D fun at home.
